Prof Ramesh Jain from the University of California, Irvine, USA, will deliver a keynote at the 6th IEEE BigMM 2020 conference in New Delhi, India.

Big Data in Healthcare

The 1st Workshop on Big Data in Healthcare will be held in New Delhi2020, in conjunction with IEEE, BigMM 2020. We invite the submission of papers on original and unpublished research on all aspects of Big Data in Healthcare.

Big data refers to enormous amount of information that can do wonders. The last decades have witnessed the special interest of researchers working in different domains due to the extraordinary potential concealed in big data. Numerous public and private organizations create, store and analyze big data in pursuit of improving the services they provide. In healthcare, big data is observed from various avenues such as hospital records, patients medical records, medical examinations reports and sophisticated devices that are usually part of internet of things. In contrast, biomedical research community also generates substantial amount of big data relevant to public healthcare. This data needs to be properly managed and analyzed in order to extract and utilize meaningful information else it resembles with finding a straw from haystack. However, there are diverse defiance linked with each step of handling big data and can only be exceeded by utilizing high-end computing solutions for big data analysis. Therefore, healthcare providers must be completely equipped with necessary infrastructure for generating and analyzing big data to provide relevant solutions to improve public health. A coherent management, analysis and visualization of big data can make a difference by opening contemporary avenues in modern healthcare. The intent of this workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and scientific communities to report and discuss the common challenges, advancements and opportunities of big data in healthcare.

IEEE BigMM invites contributions from undergraduate/graduate researchers for the Student Consortium. Only undergraduate/graduate students currently enrolled at some institute are eligible to submit papers to the undergraduate/graduate consortium, respectively. The student consortium will be an ideal forum for students to present their research work/ideas and receive valuable feedback from experts in the field of Multimedia Big Data. The detailed information is given at http://bigmm2020.org/index.php/calls-for-submission/student-consortium-contributions.

It is a wonderful opportunity for students to publish their BTech/ MTech/ PhD projects at the IEEE conference and get useful feedback from the experts in the area to improve them further.

Kindly share the CFP with other colleagues who may wish to submit papers to IEEE BigMM 2020, which will be held at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, in collaboration with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi).

In the first round of paper submission at 6th IEEE BigMM 2020, the acceptance rate was 23%. All regular papers were fairly selected by the strict review process that guaranteed each paper received at least three review reports (average: 3.46 reviews; maximum: 4 reviews). Conflict of interest was also carefully taken into account while assigning the papers for reviews. Thus, we are committed to carefully and fairly reviewing all submitted papers and providing high-quality reviews to authors.

We are also excited to inform you that Prof Ramesh Jain from the University of California, Irvine, USA will deliver a keynote at IEEE BigMM 2020 (http://bigmm2020.org/) in New Delhi, India. Prof Jain does not need any introduction. He is commonly referred to as 'Father of Multimedia Computing'. We expect to have two more eminent researchers from academia and industry as keynote speakers.

Multimedia is increasingly becoming the “biggest big data”. It is the most important and valuable source for insights and information as it covers everyone’s experiences and is about everything that is happening in the world. As such, multimedia big data is spurring on a tremendous amount of research and development of related technologies and applications.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM), jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing) and IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing), is a world’s premier forum of leading scholars in the highly active multimedia big data research, development and applications. The sixth BigMM conference is jointly hosted by the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), will be held in JNU, New Delhi from September 24 to 26 in 2020.

The conference aims to bring together researchers from different areas and solicits high-quality original research papers relevant in any aspect of multimedia big data but not limited to the following broad themes:

Full Papers: 8 pages Short Papers: 4 pages Industry Papers: 8 pages Student Consortium Papers: 4 pages Demonstration Papers: 4 pages Multimedia Grand Challenge Papers: 4 pages Workshops Papers: 8 pages Note: The above-mentioned page limits are a maximum number of pages in a 2-column IEEE format excluding references. The authors will be given a maximum of 2 additional pages for references. IEEE BigMM 2020 will showcase high quality oral and poster presentations for regular and workshop papers as well as technical demo and grand challenge solution sessions. The review will be done by at least three reviewers. Best papers, posters, technical demos, and multimedia grand challenge solutions will be awarded at the conference. All papers in this conference will be included in the IEEExplore and indexed by EI. IMPORTANT DATES
